auh...... I have a few products already...they (PT owners) are not lining up to get them?

Jerry makes more money with his "kool" custom vinyls.

speaking of customs vinyls I need to talk to Jerry....

That is if he (Jerry) is still doing them?

Thats a now long story that is as follows:

I originally had access to a local trim shop after hours a couple nights a week. I had previously worked there part time to learn the trade because I thought it was interesting. The owner allowed me to do my own designs as long as I didn't compete with him locally. His shop has been so busy for years that he doesn't have the interest or time to delve into mail-order or anything to far away from his shop, so we both were happy. This went on for quite awhile and then after my recent illness (remember when I was GONE for around six months early last year) on my first trip back to the shop, I was promptly introduced to the NEW owner of the business. Well he informed me that I would no longer have access to the shop as I had previously had and that he was sorry. I understood because he didn't know me from Adam even with the previous owners recommendation and I probably would have done the same thing if I was in his shoes. I was told that I would be welcome to purchase products at the shop at a discounted price and that they were keeping my old design files for me to draw from if I needed.

There are several flies in the ointment here:

Anything new that I would design and take in to them to have made would have to include a normal set-up fee and then the price of the decal itself. I was charging no set-up fee for what I had sold here previously because I actually enjoyed that part so I didn't charge for it. Plus, I mean, it was for you guys so-----

Lastly, there is only one employee at the shop that has the passion and REAL expertise to do the type of designs that I do and he is now relegated to two days a week as the result of cost cutting measures by the new owner. The new owner thinks he's going to make a killing doing almost nothing but wraps and other large decals like boats, vans, etc. He may be right.

Now to the point, I can get decals done, BUT since this changeover happened I have been in several times to get small stuff done for myself and it took a long time to get the product because they kept shoving mine and everyone elses small orders back down on the list of jobs every time a new BIG job came in and unfortunantly they are getting busier and busier.

So thats where we stand right now. I thank everybody that bought from me in the past and here's hoping things will take a turn for the better soon.
Naturally, I've got several things that I'm working on right now (in particular some interior stuff) that I think everyone will like, but who knows if I'll be able to offer them to anyone else? We'll see.

Sounds like you just copied what nitro would say. Wait nitro said this on the crew

I know personally;If I paid upwards of $500-$600 for a strut-bar,I'd tell everyone it improved handling too!

A "two bagger"is a chick with a rockin' body, but a face that looks like it was beaten with an ugly stick. There are two principal reasons why someone would be called a two bagger. The most common reason is that a gentleman should be able to place one bag over her head and still enjoy the sexual experience, but for good measure will place another bag over his own head in case the aforementioned bag falls off the two bagger. Additionally, should a friend walk into the room while a sexual act with a two-bagger is occurring, the gentleman performing the act will be assured that his identity is protected

Like I said, I can still do them, it's just going to be a much more convoluted process and will cost more. You guys were getting really good deals on my old product line.

I've been trying to get 12 small, newly designed decals for a new interior mod that I'm working on for almost a month now, with no end in site. They keep pushing it farther and farther back on the production schedule.
